One of the outpatient rehabilitation options for people in Woodburn who are battling with opioid abuse and addiction is opioid maintenance therapy. Some facilities and doctors are certified to give certain medications to opioid addicted people, many of which are opioids themselves and are addictive. In low enough amounts however, the individual doesn't feel high and also does not experience acute cravings and isn't experiencing opioid withdrawal. Methadone is the first medication tried for this reason, but there are alternative options to choose from.
Methadone is an opioid and is meant to be taken at an out-patient clinic licensed to administer the drug, which is taken on a daily basis in liquid or pill form. The price of the drug is approximately $150 a month. Buprenorphine is also an opiate based med, and is in pill form often taken every other day. But different from Methadone which can only be dispensed in well-regulated clinics, Buprenorphine can be and is prescribed and administered in doctor's offices. The price monthly of buprenorphine is approximately just under $300 a month for the generic version of the drug. There is also a version of buprenorphine that contains the ingredient naloxone, that is a drug which reverses the effects of opiates. A person consuming this formulation, AKA Suboxone, would find it harder to feel high from opioids if they relapsed while taking the drug. It too is taken on a daily basis, and costs approximately $450 /month. Naltrexone is an additional medication used in opioid maintenance therapy, but unlike the other drugs aforementioned it's an opioid blocker and is not an opioid. A person has the choice to take this drug as a monthly shot, and that is called Vivitrol. As an opioid blocker, the drug prevents an individual from getting high from opioids, and in turn lowers the risk associated with relapse. This daily shot costs in the range of $1000 to $1200 per month.
